Biographical notes
Born in Padua in 1915, Fulvio Bianconi was one of the great Murano glass designers of the mid-20th century. He worked with Venini from 1947, developing a colourful, experimental style, notably in the Fazzoletto series, created with Paolo Venini, and the Pezzato and A fasce series. His command of colour made him one of the house’s most emblematic designers.
